Is my Tor Bitcoind full node seen by new normal nodes?

I've finished the setup of a bitcoind node behind Tor like in method 1 of this guide

I'd like to be as helpful as possible to the network and especially new nodes trying to sync but unfortunately I only see 10 people connected to my node ( I assume 8 of them I'm downloading from and only 2 of them I'm uploading to.

Are new nodes able to see me right from the bat even if my 8333 port is only open using a .onion ip address?

If I want to set up an electrum server (electrumx) using .onion address will it be easy for normal electrum wallets to connect to my machine?

Thanks
